Harwood will work alongside the drama heads in Scotland, Christopher Aird, and Wales, Faith Penhale.

Younge said: "Losing Nick Brown and John Yorke was a massive loss, but its given us a chance to review our structure and we've decided to devolve more creative accountability to Faith and Chris and expand Kate's portfolio.

"Each is an outstanding creative in their own right, and as a team they are unstoppable."
